Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Sleep problems are among the most common urgent and undermining troubles parents meet. This book describes Dilys Daws' pioneering method of therapy for sleep problems honed over 40 years of work with families: brief psychoanalytic therapy with parents and infants together. Offering tried and tested ways of helping parents work things out better with their babies when such problems arise this new edition of Dilys Daws’ classic work updated with expert help from Sarah Sutton frees professionals from the burden of feeling they need to rush to give advice to families showing instead how to begin the challenging journey of discovering new emotions that every baby brings. It sheds light on the sleep problem in the context of a whole range of aspects of the early world: the regulation of babies’ physiological states; dreams and nightmares; the development of separateness; separation and attachment problems; and connections with feeding and weaning. This much-needed compassionate and well-informed guide to helping parents and babies with sleep problems draws on twenty-first century development research and rich clinical wisdom to offer ways of understanding sleep problems in each individual family context with all its particular pressures and possibilities. It will be treasured by new parents struggling with sleeplessness and is enormously valuable for anyone working with parents and their babies. | Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Corruption crime economic inequality religious fundamentalism financial crises environmental degradation population ageing gender inequality large-scale migration… This book tackles many of the most pressing problems facing societies today. The authors demonstrate that similar social mechanisms lie behind many of these seemingly disparate problems. Indeed many societal problems can be traced back to behaviours that are perfectly rational and often well-intended from an individual perspective. Yet taken together these behaviours can – paradoxically – give rise to unintended and undesirable outcomes at the society level. In addition to addressing the causes of societal problems the book explains why some problems rank higher on the public agenda than others. Moreover it is shown how government intervention may sometimes provide a cure yet other times exacerbate existing problems or create new problems of its own. This book includes an extensive amount of data on trends and geographic variation in the prevalence of different problems as well as telling examples – both recent and historical – from a variety of countries to support its key arguments. Employing a bold multidisciplinary approach the authors draw on insights from across the social sciences including sociology economics anthropology criminology and psychology. Throughout the book students are introduced to analytical concepts such as free-riding herding behaviour principal-agent relations and moral hazard. These concepts are essential tools for better understanding the roots of many societal problems that regularly make headlines in the news. This improved understanding will in turn be critical for ultimately finding solutions to these problems. | Societal Problems as Public Bads

Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Why do bad things happen even to good people? If there is a God why aren't God's existence and God's will for humans more apparent? And if God really does miracles for some people why not for others? This book examines these three problems of evil - suffering divine hiddenness and unfairness if miracles happen as believers claim - to explore how different ideas of God's power relate to the problem of evil. Keller argues that as long as God is believed to be all-powerful there are no adequate answers to these problems nor is it enough for theists simply to claim that human ignorance makes these problems insoluble. Arguing that there are no good grounds for the belief that God is all-powerful Keller instead defends the understanding of God and God's power found in process theism and shows how it makes possible an adequate solution to the problems of evil while providing a concept of God that is religiously adequate. | Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

At least fifty years of projects aimed at the rural poor in Africa have had very little impact. Up to half of the children of these countries are still suffering from stunting and malnutrition. Soil degradation and poor crop yields are ubiquitous. Projects are almost always aimed at helping local people to solve their problems by growing for the market. In some countries projects link poor villagers into cooperatives to produce a commercial output. In other countries projects target more competent entrepreneurial villagers. Almost all these projects fail after several years. Even those that are successful make few inroads into the problems. While the slogan 'feeding the farmers first' comes from the Philippines it is particularly applicable to much of Africa where household food security can come from household production. This book explains how projects can be designed that increase food security through subsistence production. Focusing on particular people and projects it gives a sociological analysis of why this is so difficult to manage. This book challenges the models promoted by academics in the field of development studies and argues against the strategies adopted by most donor organizations and government bodies. It explains why commercial projects have been so ubiquitous even though they rarely work. It gives practical tips on how to set up villages and farms to achieve sustainable solutions that also provide plenty of nutritious food. The book is written to be accessible and engaging. For anyone planning to work in the rural areas of Africa this book is required reading. | Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School

Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School

Published in 1983. Adolescence is a period of change for all and turmoil for some. Many adolescents have problems which are easily identified but for others the problems are more subtle. There is an interaction between their own difficulties and the systems of home school and their own society. In this case problems which are very real are more difficult to define and to deal with. This book aims to help teachers to recognise and understand the common problems of adolescents as they are relevant to their schooling. In addition suggestions are made to help both teachers and adolescents overcome these difficulties. Besides the more immediately obvious issues of learning and behaviour there is also discussion of sexual behaviour vandalism and substance abuse. Throughout the book the common theme is that all problem behaviour must be understood and acted upon within a context and not regarded as examples of individual delinquency. Finally the implications of the 1981 Education Act and its impact on teachers is considered. Under this law a much wider range of young people will be deemed to have special educational needs. Consequently all teachers of adolescents will need to be aware of the issues raised and discussed in this book. | Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

This collection breaks new ground by investigating applications of degrowth in a range of geographic practical and theoretical contexts along the food chain. Degrowth challenges growth and advocates for everyday practices that limit socio-metabolic energy and material flows within planetary constraints. As such the editors intend to map possibilities for food for degrowth to become established as a field of study. International contributors offer a range of examples and possibilities to develop more sustainable localised resilient and healthy food systems using degrowth principles of sufficiency frugal abundance security autonomy and conviviality. Chapters are clustered in parts that critically examine food for degrowth in spheres of the household collectives networks and narratives of broader activism and discourses. Themes include broadening and deepening concepts of care in food provisioning and social contexts; critically applying appropriate technologies; appreciating and integrating indigenous perspectives; challenging notions of 'waste' 'circular economies' and commodification; and addressing the ever-present impacts of market logic framed by growth. This book will be of greatest interest to students and scholars of critical food studies sustainability studies urban political ecology geography environmental studies such as environmental sociology anthropology ethnography ecological economics and urban design and planning. | Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

Public Problems - Private Solutions? Globalizing Cities in the South

Public Problems - Private Solutions? Globalizing Cities in the South

Cities and city regions are undergoing rapid transformation. They are prime locations of innovation while at the same time facing growing problems of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion. By addressing these problems cities become forerunners for new patterns of governance which include increasingly private actors. While research on 'global' cities has focused primarily on the world's leading financial and economic centres comparative research on the changing role of large complex cities in the developing world is less advanced. But it is here where public problems are most seriously threatening the cohesion of urban society and where the need for new answers is most urgent. Illustrated by in-depth examinations of four city regions: Shanghai Mumbai Johannesburg and São Paulo this book readdresses this balance. The book revisits the same set of cities from different angles thereby reflecting urban contradictions juxtapositions and disjunctures. | Public Problems - Private Solutions?

Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein

Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein

First published in 1972 Problems of Mind begins with a consideration of the view that the human mind is an immaterial thing that does not require corporeal embodiment for its operations. It takes up the conception that inner experiences are strictly identical with brain processes. The book also deals exclusively with the doctrine called Logical Behaviourism which will always possess a compelling attraction for anyone who is perplexed by the psychological concepts who has become aware of the worthlessness of an appeal to introspection as an account of how we learn those concepts and who has no inclination to identify mind with brain. The three most plausible theories of mind-body dualism mind-brain monism and behaviourism are all rejected and nothing is set forth as the true theory. Norman Malcolm states that this is 'only a drop in the bucket. It will serve its purpose if it leads the reader into the writings of Wittgenstein who is easily the most important figure in the philosophy of mind. ’ Problems of Mind will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of mind ethics logic and philosophy in general. | Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein
